In this episode, Maciej Lelusz talks about safety in the sense of leaving your comfort zone. That is the basis of the conversation with Ahmad Halabi, a former hacker who managed to become one of the leading US DoD hackers within 5 months! Currently, as the head of the thriving Resecurity company, he explains how he uses his past skills for protection and security. Hacking is not about computers, and soft - that's a mindset about finding hidden things that are repetitive (repetitions). Ahmad succeeded within 4-5 months of being a top US DoD hacker because of his automation process. Then he shaped into start-up that is focused on vulnerability assessment penetration. And remember that all is not about the darknet it's about the internet!
